Facts We Know

The old reverend minister As he has been doing For the previous years Stood his grounds And pronounced These plain words: “ We certainly know That Satan Our archenemy By some tidal alchemy Doesn’t want to see us rise Upon that final fateful day This fact we know Yet we wouldn’t despair Here whilst on earth He wants us to shun the right And cleave to the wrong Nevertheless we know That his defeat is sure For Christ our Saviour Died on Calvary ’s cruel tree Our victory to resound God Word to us is granted Rich assurances they provide To aid us safely In our life’s Journey pathway Until we reach the end Of the tunnel A lasting peace and Untold satisfaction They afford us In this present world Then when all of life Is over When we depart To meet our Maker Our souls shall have Eternal bliss In that bright land of wonder Far beyond the starry skies.” The whole congregation listened With rapt attention To every letter, comma and period Of his entire exhortation Fresh memories of these sayings Still linger on.
